Earlier this year, Nextbit announced its plans to launch a phone in India at the end of April. However, the company had to wait for regulatory approvals in the country.

Now, the company is all geared to launch the cloud-based smartphone Nextbit Robin in the country on May 25. As of now there is no word on the pricing of the Robin smartphone in India but is priced at $399 (approx. Rs 25,000) in the U.S.

In the U.S. market, the Robin was launched on Amazon US and we can expect it to be launched on Amazon India. Initially, it was launched on Kickstarter and it easily managed to surpass the goal of crowdfunding in a couple of days.

Nextbit Robin is a first of its kind phone with cloud technology

Being a cloud-based smartphone, the Nextbit Robin will use cloud technology to free internal memory space of the device. This is possible as it lets users backup the unused app data to cloud storage.

The phone will never run out of memory as it will backup data to the cloud when connected to Wi-Fi. The users need not delete anything to download an app or shoot a video.

100 GB free cloud storage

Nextbit Robin is bundled with 100 GB of free cloud storage space. Those who want more space can purchase additional storage as well.

There is a choice to pin apps ensuring that the data will not be removed when there is a space crunch.

Aimed at creating a pure Android experience
